Madelón delivers: Unión’s impressive turnaround away from home | OneFootball

Unión went from being the worst away team to being the second team with the most points earned in that condition. A change that explains this great present for Tate.

In the Torneo Apertura, Unión’s performance as a visitor was truly disgraceful. To the point that Tate was the team that earned the fewest points away from home.

Unión became a reliable team when playing away

In that competition, the red-and-white team played seven matches, of which they lost six and only drew one. As a result, they collected just one point out of 21 at stake, with an effectiveness of 4.76%.

A shameful campaign any way you look at it, which condemned them to finish last in Zone A with only 14 points. But in this Torneo Clausura, under Leonardo Madelón, the change for the better was striking.

Indeed, Tate went from being the worst away team to one of the best. So far in the Apertura, Unión has played eight matches away from the 15 de Abril stadium, achieving four wins, two draws, and two losses.

In this way, the team earned 14 points out of 24 at stake, with an effectiveness of 58.3% and a goal difference of +5, with 13 goals for and eight against.

As visitors, Unión defeated Instituto 4-0, Racing 3-2, Gimnasia de La Plata 3-1, and Newell’s 1-0. They also drew 1-1 with Boca and 0-0 with Banfield. And they lost 1-0 to Argentinos Juniors and 3-1 to Central Córdoba.

Thus, with Madelón on the bench, Unión became a serious and competitive team when playing away, which so far allows them to be the leader of Zone A with 23 points.
